Last night when I laid down, LG was kicking up a storm and I could feel it on the outside. I text DH (who was downstairs working) and asked if he wanted to come up and feel her. Of course when he did, she stopped so we laid there for a few minutes and DH started feeling other things and it led to some sexy times.
A video game my SO has been looking forward to for a month came out last night, and he's going to be playing all weekend. I'm actually stoked lol. ME TIME. And it's going to rain, so I'm going to bake and read and watch corny movies in bed.
DD is still sleeping (10 am!) she doesn’t nap, although she is only 2 so I am just enjoying it. So far I’ve had my breakfast, coffee, taken a shower and done no housework. In a few months I’ll never have this kind of downtime (at least for the foreseeable future!).
My little dude starts his second year of pre-K Monday and I’m SO excited. I don’t get sad at milestones, first day of school equals sweet glorious me time. I assume I’ll feel the same way when he starts Kindergarten next year.
I can no longer bend over to pick up things on the floor so I use my toes. When I was picking up things around the house the other day, I saw a bunch of ABC blocks on the floor in the playroom and thought “F that, I’ll let DH pick those up when he gets home.”

My DD started first grade which means she’s in school until TWO!!!!! I never, ever, get to be alone so I’m celebrating by sitting around and watching crappy horror movies. I had so many plans- I’m gonna mop, I’m gonna clean the fridge, I’m gonna... I’m gonnna sit on my ass is what I’m gonna do
When DH scratched our car in the garage this week, I was secretly happy that it happened to him and not me. I knocked a mirror off of the old car months and months ago, and he still brings it up! We have a really narrow garage.

I ate boxed Mac and cheese and chicken nuggets for lunch and I don’t even have kids I was feeding, just made it for myself. It was so good though!!
I was so disappointed when DD didn’t show love towards mac and cheese & nuggets. We even got her dino nuggets from Costco and DH & I only eat them. Glad you enjoyed it!!!
I have to drive 3 hrs to and 3 hrs from Virginia tomorrow for my niece/goddaughters bday party. I have been searching for an excuse not to go bc I just don't want to deal with people. I've run out of ideas and think I'm gonna have to give in so now I'm praying DSs soccer practice beforehand is at least cancelled.
I decided not to go out to eat today and eat at work (I work at a central kitchen for a school district so they provide free breakfast and lunch). My thought process was I wouldn’t be eating as many calories... I was wrong, not only did I have a chicken sandwich with two vegetables sides the lead cook asked me if I wanted a piece of lasagna too and proceeded to give me a double portion.... I ate it all
I silently judge parents who tell me that they don't let their child's nap schedule dictate their personal lives but then, in the next breath, tell me that their children are hard to manage or "all over the place."

I will be the first to admit I totally let DS’s naps take precedence over social activities. I didn’t go to church for like 6 months because of his morning nap. A well rested baby is a happy baby. Plus it got us out of stuff I didn’t want to do lol.
@sfgiantsgamerbabe DS naps give DH and I time to get things done around the house and nap if we are feeling run down after a long week. I totally agree that a well rested baby/toddler makes for a happy baby/toddler. To take it a step further, when DS is well rested and happy, DH and I are happy. The house runs better.
I’m on team nap over anything else because DD hit two and her tantrums on days without naps at daycare are on a whole another level. It’s like once she starts screaming/crying, there is no stop button no matter what. The whole respectful parenting/Janet Lansbury thing is sooo much harder than it sounds!!! Weekends are awesome when DD is a happy baby. We make sure we go out 9-12 then put her down for a nap 12-3 or 1-4 (she naps so hard on wknds). We’ll take it.
I plan on making the baby follow DD’s routine, at least for awhile, which means being out of the house for morning naps. DD is impossible if she doesn’t get her outside physical activity so it’s a big priority for me. It affects her more than whether she gets a nap. Every time we stay home for a whole day she becomes a defiant tornado that doesn't sleep. I also have to interact with adults for my own mental health.
I'm going to a wedding tomorrow, and no one thinks the wedding is a good idea. My FFFC is that I like weddings, and I'll go to them even if I don't think the marriage will be good.

I bought a birthday sheet cake from Wegman’s last week. It is HEAVENLY. I haven’t given a single bite to DD. Every time she goes down, it’s me & the cake. Oh and Parenthood. Oh and DH...keywords here: me & the cake

That’s what I did with my second and it worked out great. I would take the kids out to do things in the morning and the baby would nap in the car or stroller or carrier or wherever. Then after lunch he would take a big long nap in his crib. He probably dropped his morning nap earlier than most, but his afternoon nap is still so long and good at almost 2. I hope it works well for you too!
@AliKay20 yessss I love Wegmans sheet cake. I’m glad I saw this after I was already there for my weekly shopping today or I would be adding that to my list for sure!! And I definitely would also have a hard time sharing.
DS has been having GI issues and has to have a clean out today so I just got done bribing him with toys if he does it without complaining just to make my life easier.
